I love the Wood move as we cleared four bodies that got no burn from our bench for a fallen angel. Even if Wood is a rental, that's a solid double with the chance of being a home run. McGee is great but I have my bias.
Yeah, I like the move back into the draft on its own merits. They had a guy rated highly and they went and got him. That deserves praise. Of course the move could be inconsequential if Hardy doesn't turn into a player. But that is not the topic I was commenting on. But if we are commenting on it, I think that kid has an incredibly high floor. If nothing else, he is a cold knockdown spot up shooter with an NBA body. That alone is worth the investment. If he never developed further than that, it would be a success. That is why I put that it COULD be amazing... if he does develop as a creator/facilitator, and further if he can defend. The last one is where I have my doubts - he was pretty bad in that dept. But dude can shoot.
